Remember when animated movies weren't afraid to get a little dark?
A widowed field mouse trying to save her sick son doesn't sound like much on paper. Then you discover secret experiments, hyper-intelligent rats, eerie visions, ancient mysteries, and scenes that genuinely terrified an entire generation of kids.
Released in 1982, The Secret of NIMH proved that animation could be beautiful, emotional, and surprisingly intense all at the same time.
